Aviation BUILD PLANES TO COMPETE WITHZEPPELIN Dirigible Type of Airship Leads in Race for Ocean Service. BY ERIC KEYSER. I'nlted Pre* Stiff Correpond*nt BERLIN, Sept. s.—The repeated successes of the Graf Zeppelin in crossing the Atlantic have given the dirigible-type of airship a temporary lead in the race with planes for future trans-oceanic air service. Manufacturers and advocates of i the use of planes, however, contend that this lead merely is for a day, urging at the same time that the public wait for the results of certain tests which now are being made. The fight for the south Atlantic business probably will be the stiffest. Many planes are being built for this service and the backers of the airplane contend that all the economic and geographic conditions favor them. They claim it wil be comparatively easy to transport mail and freight by short stages, a thing which, they claim, the huge dirigibles could not do. The future development of the Zeppelins, it was said, depends entirely upon Dr. Hugo Eckener’s present negotiations in the United States. It was believed that if he succeeded in interesting large capital, he will be able to build new and larger dirigibles and carry further experiments in trans-Atlantic flying. It was believed unlikely that in the event Dr. Eckener failed to enlist new capital that he would use the Graf Zeppelin for any tests. Captain Ernst Lehmann, who commanded the Graf Zeppelin on the Lakehurst-to-Friedrichshafen flight, which ended Wednesday, predicted future world Zepplein flights in fifteen days, or about five days less than the Zep’s record-breaking performance. New Mail Record Anew high record for air mail ; dispatched from the Indianapolis postoffice was established in August, Postmaster Robert H. Bryson announced today. The previous record was set in July, when the Embry-Riddle air mail line received 1,246 pounds of air mail from the local office. In August, the July record was exceeded by more than 400 pounds, the total poundage being 1,658 pounds. The increase. Bryson said, largely is due to establishment of three round trips daily on the air mail route in July. Air Itinerary Made Itinerary for the first all-Indiana good will air tour. Sept. 16 to 21, sponsored by the Indiana Aircraft Trades Association, today was announced by W. F. Sturm, flight manager. About twenty planes representing various Indiana flying companies, will leave Hoosier airport Monday morning, Sept. 16, stopping at Newcastle for lunch. From there they i will fly to Connersville and Union j City, staying overnight at Richmond. Itinerary for the remaining four days will be: Tuesday—Richmond to Muncie, lunch at Anderson. Kokomo and overnight at Ft. Wayne. Wednesday—Ft. Wayne to Peru for lunch. Plymouth, Goshen, and overnight at Elkhart. Thursday—Elkhart to Gary, lunch at Lafayette, Greencastle, overnight at Terre Haute. Friday—Terre Haute to Princeton for lunch. Boonville, overnight at Evansville. Saturday—Evansville to Bedford and to Capitol airport here in time for lunch. Mayors of each city have been invited to fly to the next city on the itinerary and many of them have accepted. Air Rail Line to Mexico Bu T'nitrd I’rrts CHICAGO, Sept. s.—Forty-nine hour air-rail service between New York and Mexico City by way of Chicago will be inaugurated next Sunday. The service embraces an international hookup of five transportation companies. The trip will require forty-nine hours and five minutes. It took 101 hours and 50 minutes to cover the same distance under the old all-rail system. Passage from New York to Mexico City will cost $301.05. including a lower berth for the rail portions of the journey. \

CHOPIN PROGRAM FEATURED TONIGHT Adela Verne, Splendid Pianist, to Give Special Recital at One Show at the Lyric Theater. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN SOME years ago, De Pachmann, recognized as a leading player of Chopin, played a nearly all-Chopin program before a vast audience. We are to have the unusual but splendid opportunity tonight at the 9 o'clock show at the Lyric of hearing a short all-Chopin program played by Adela Verne, noted pianist, who Is attracting lovers of great music to this playhouse. To do this. Miss Verne must change her entire program that she has been playing this week. It has required extra hours of study and practice upon the darkened at the Lyric, long before the theater opens.

As early as 8 o'clock the qther > morning, this splendid woman appeared at the Lyric and there she sat at the concert grand piano until nearly 11 a. m. v This is a daily occurrence when Miss Verne is on a vaudeville bill. Hours and hours of practice and study are required to keep her musically fit. Liszt has been featured on her programs so far this week and when requests were made for some j of the great music of Chopin, Miss j Verne consented at once. Although she is prepared to play , many of the masterpieces on a minute’s notice, yet it requires hours of study each day. “I have always longed to do an all-Chopin program on the variety stage," Miss Verne told me. "It will require hours of practice, but I will do it with the co-operation of the orchestra.” And in meeting this request tonight at one show, the director of the Lyric orchestra. A. Hammerschlag, and every member will cooperate with Miss Verne. It is this co-operation and fine understanding that is bringing back or forward the great music of the masters on the variety stage. The orchestra will open with Chopin’s "Polonaise Militaire," followed by Miss Verne playing "Ballade in A Flat," “Fantasie Impromptu" and then probably one of the great waltz numbers of Chopin. What a recital to be a part of a regular vaudeville program. It is unusual, probably never having been done before on the vaudeville stage. To make possible this request of music lovers, Manager Kalberer of the Lyric has extended additional time to Miss Verne. Those who want to hear Chopin intelligently and beautifully played have that opportunity tonight at the 9 o’clock show at the Lyric. tt tt a Other theaters today offer: “Fast Company” at tire Indiana, “Four In the Air ■Weather conditions at 9:30 a. m.
